"The (Really) Moderate Muslims of Kosovo

"The world's newest country is a model of Islamic tolerance.

"On February 17, 2008, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, becoming the newest country in the world—and one of the most unusual. Most of its citizens are Muslim, an oddity in Europe; further, unlike most Muslim-majority nations, Kosovo is overwhelmingly pro-American, and its relations with Israel are excellent as well. No Arab countries have recognized the new nation's existence yet, and only Saudi Arabia has said that it will. Perhaps this isn't surprising, since Kosovars differ more radically from their brothers in the Arab world than any other Islamic people on earth."
